    Not Thyroid?

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    Why not just send to Michigan State Vet Lab as a follow up for FT4 by ED and TSH (# 20013 - Canine Therapeutic Monitoring Profile) with a request for a written review by the endocrinologist (#20020) with the dogs medical history and current "symptoms"?

     

    I received the same recommendation from Dr. Dodds and MSU on a dog that may have been hypothyroid or euthyroid sick syndrome.

    Tramatized!

    I live in the same county as Lou and have been speaking to her and exchanging emails since this incident. I, too, have had my dogs attacked two times by a dog who lives on my walk route, about which I have alluded in many other posts regarding protection measures. Fortunately for me and my dogs, there were no injuries either time! But, anyone who has gone through that experience knows the range of emotions that come with it. My overwhelming reaction was fury as was my DH's. In speaking with an Animal Control officer after the second attack, my husband asked if he could shoot the dog if it happened again - he doesn't own a gun - it was a hypothetical question. (That's the fury talking.) The AC's response was, "You can do whatever you feel is necessary to protect your dog and yourself if you feel you are in danger, as long as it is on public property." In our county, public property means from the sidewalk, across the easement, across the street including the sidewalk on the other side.

     

    Those who express concern about harming an attacker should ask Lou to send pictures of Betty's injury. You wouldn't give a second thought to using a cattle prod if you saw the carnage.

     

    Disclaimer: I am not a gun owner and I do not advocate the use of guns.

    Oh, no. I am so sorry. That photo.............just too priceless and just one of the many cute photos that endeared her to so many. Will never forget those eyes, that face and the cutest little toofers! Godspeed, Treasure. Hugs to everyone who loved her.

    Charlie touched us as those once-in-a-lifetime dogs do.......................deeply and indelibly. We were so fortunate to be recipient of your generous photographic journey with Charlie. He became an icon and a champion and an example to be held high, as if to say, "Here's How To Live Your Life With Gusto" or "Challenges? What Challenges?"

     

    Miss you, Charlie, but not nearly as much as your Dad does.
